Description

Technical field:

[0001] The invention relates to a system for the on-site generation of compressed air and oxygen from ambient air, particularly suitable for use in veterinary medicine and water treatment.

[0002] Due to its small dimensions and focus on sound insulation, it is particularly suitable for use in residential buildings or buildings with limited installation space. State of the art:

[0003] Existing oxygen generation systems are primarily designed for industrial or clinical use. They require large footprints and extensive installation work, and are therefore only suitable to a limited extent for operation in buildings with limited space.

[0004] Existing systems with the same output power require larger storage tanks, which further increases the required floor space.

[0005] Furthermore, existing systems have separate controls for compressed air and oxygen generation, the integration of which into existing infrastructure involves considerable technical effort. Purpose of the invention:

[0006] The invention is based on the objective of providing a compact, efficient and modular compressed air oxygen generation system that can be operated in the smallest possible space, operates with particularly low noise levels and can be integrated into compressed air and oxygen networks as a plug-and-play solution without complex assembly. Solution:

[0007] The problem is solved by a combined compressed air and oxygen generation system according to claim 1.

[0008] The core of the invention is a common basic structure in which the compressed air and oxygen storage tanks are arranged below the compressed air generator unit and together form the support structure (console).

[0009] This compact arrangement results in short pipe runs and optimized flow conditions, making the use of smaller storage tanks possible.

[0010] This enables, for the first time, the integration of compressed air generation, oxygen generation and storage on a footprint of less than 1.2 m². 2 made possible.

[0011] A digital control unit automatically and efficiently regulates compressed air and oxygen production according to demand, monitors all operating parameters, stores relevant data for quality management, and enables comprehensive maintenance and alarm management. Benefit details

[0012] Advantages of the invention: • extremely compact and space-saving design • Energy-efficient and resource-saving • Centralized, demand-driven production directly on site • No external oxygen supply required • Reduced transport routes and no supply bottlenecks • Easy to use, no oxygen cylinder change required • Modular design for flexible scaling • Quiet operation, suitable for residential and office environments Legend for the drawings 1 oxygen generator 2 Oil-free compressed air generators 3 Compressed air refrigerated dryers 4 90 liter compressed air storage tanks 5 90 liter oxygen storage 6 central control unit 7.
